(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7)
openssl_encrypt — Encrypts data
Description
$data
, string $method
, string $key
[, int $options = 0
[, string $iv = ""
[, string &$tag = NULL
[, string $aad = ""
[, int $tag_length = 16
]]]]] ) : stringEncrypts given data with given method and key, returns a raw or base64 encoded string
Parameters
-
data -
The plaintext message data to be encrypted.
-
method -
The cipher method. For a list of available cipher methods, use openssl_get_cipher_methods().
-
key -
The key.
-
options -
optionsis a bitwise disjunction of the flagsOPENSSL_RAW_DATAandOPENSSL_ZERO_PADDING. -
iv -
A non-NULL Initialization Vector.
-
tag -
The authentication tag passed by reference when using AEAD cipher mode (GCM or CCM).
-
aad -
Additional authentication data.
-
tag_length -
The length of the authentication
tag. Its value can be between 4 and 16 for GCM mode.
Errors/Exceptions
Emits an E_WARNING level error if an unknown cipher
algorithm is passed in via the method parameter.
Emits an E_WARNING level error if an empty value is passed
in via the iv parameter.
Changelog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 7.1.0 | The tag, aad and tag_length parameters were added. |
| 5.4.0 |
The raw_output was changed to options.
|

Examples
Example #1 AES Authenticated Encryption in GCM mode example for PHP 7.1+
<?php
//$key should have been previously generated in a cryptographically safe way, like openssl_random_pseudo_bytes
$plaintext = "message to be encrypted";
$cipher = "aes-128-gcm";
if (in_array($cipher, openssl_get_cipher_methods()))
{
$ivlen = openssl_cipher_iv_length($cipher);
$iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($ivlen);
$ciphertext = openssl_encrypt($plaintext, $cipher, $key, $options=0, $iv, $tag);
//store $cipher, $iv, and $tag for decryption later
$original_plaintext = openssl_decrypt($ciphertext, $cipher, $key, $options=0, $iv, $tag);
echo $original_plaintext."\n";
}
?>
Example #2 AES Authenticated Encryption example for PHP 5.6+
<?php
//$key previously generated safely, ie: openssl_random_pseudo_bytes
$plaintext = "message to be encrypted";
$ivlen = openssl_cipher_iv_length($cipher="AES-128-CBC");
$iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($ivlen);
$ciphertext_raw = openssl_encrypt($plaintext, $cipher, $key, $options=OPENSSL_RAW_DATA, $iv);
$hmac = hash_hmac('sha256', $ciphertext_raw, $key, $as_binary=true);
$ciphertext = base64_encode( $iv.$hmac.$ciphertext_raw );
//decrypt later....
$c = base64_decode($ciphertext);
$ivlen = openssl_cipher_iv_length($cipher="AES-128-CBC");
$iv = substr($c, 0, $ivlen);
$hmac = substr($c, $ivlen, $sha2len=32);
$ciphertext_raw = substr($c, $ivlen+$sha2len);
$original_plaintext = openssl_decrypt($ciphertext_raw, $cipher, $key, $options=OPENSSL_RAW_DATA, $iv);
$calcmac = hash_hmac('sha256', $ciphertext_raw, $key, $as_binary=true);
if (hash_equals($hmac, $calcmac))//PHP 5.6+ timing attack safe comparison
{
echo $original_plaintext."\n";
}
?>
